The Baigu fortress is not big, this city at the mouth of the Sancha River is built on a small island, just like those water villages on the small islands and reefs along the coast of Daming, it can be 200 steps square, the difference is that it is very high.

The wall is more than six zhang high, without any fancy decoration, standing bare on the island, the four walls are wide open cannon windows, there are large and small, not to mention that Shao Tingda's sword and axe hand is not enough to prepare the troops, even if such a military village stands in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, only a few hundred people are needed to defend, and it is not easy to storm down.

Shao Tingda stepped on the cannon to make holes in the wall and climbed to a foot high, so he touched a cannon window, waited for the cannon behind the window to roar, jumped into the smoke of gunpowder, and was about to start killing, but unexpectedly bowed his body stuck in the cannon window.

Only then did he realize that there was not a thin wall in the gun window, but a small platform four or five feet deep and getting narrower and narrower, and only one person could crouch through at the innermost, and it was a relatively thin kind of person, and the artillery was behind it.

Moreover, the Burmese army in the city had already prepared.

Before the smoke of the artillery dissipated, several long soldiers stabbed from behind the cannon window, spears, boring handles, and long knives resounded on Shao Tingda's body in a blink of an eye, thanks to the thick armor, he was not stabbed to death on the spot, even so, several long soldiers were against him, even if he was born with divine power, it was difficult to stabilize his footing, and he was almost pushed out of the cannon window.

Relying on the last step in the air, he grabbed the two spears, so as to avoid the fate of falling into the city and breaking his bones.

Others may not die if they fall from the wall more than two feet high, he has a full forty catties of armor on his body, and he can smash a hole in the ground, let alone him in the armor.

That's it, holding the gun and spear stick on the wall, it also shocked him to the point that he didn't know what his surname was, kicked the cannon hole in the wall and climbed down a few steps, and still stepped on the air and fell on a big butt in the middle of the battle.

Looking back at the city again, most of the banner troops who climbed the city were like this, it was impossible to attack the city, one by one climbed the cannon window, and before killing the enemy, they first called someone to stab out, and the banner army's armor was one less than him, and he couldn't move for a long time after falling down, but he might not die.

This kind of fortification, even if they have a complete ladder, it is difficult to attack it, if it is the banner army in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty that has not yet succeeded in the reform of the guard army to attack, I am afraid that they will retreat after a long time.

Shao Tingda also wanted to withdraw from the army, he felt that this kind of fortress still had to be bombarded with ships, and if it didn't work for half an hour, it would be bombarded for an hour, and if it didn't work for a day, it would be bombarded for two days, and there would always be a day when it collapsed.

He felt he had to find a way to get out of the army.

After a while, Shao Tingda saw a flag soldier hanging outside the cannon window in the upper half of the city, sticking to the side of the cannon window, the knife was stuffed into his waist and he didn't move, as if waiting for something, and then he saw a loud bang in the cannon window, and the gun window burst out of the gun window with gunsmoke and flames.

A palm mine was thrown through the narrow cannon window, and although the reckless insect didn't know what the inside of the fortress was, one could imagine what the result would be after the banner soldier broke into the fortress.

Those Burmese soldiers who were still holding spears and boring handles a moment ago were afraid that they would be blown up at this time, and it was still a question of whether they could catch their breath while lying on the ground.

Wise man!

There is no need for him to order, there are not a few flag soldiers who saw this scene, Shao Tingda just got up from the ground, and several flag troops who climbed up again cooperated with each other to raise fire and hand over mines, and one by one palm thunder was thrown into one cannon window after another, and in a blink of an eye, gunsmoke exploded everywhere, and the cannon window, which was originally a great obstacle to the siege, became the weakest point for the flag army to attack at this moment.

It's easier than climbing to the top of the city, and it's going straight inside.

When Shao Tingda entered the fortress through a broken cannon window, there were shouts of killing everywhere.

This is the second floor of the fortress, and there are as many as twelve or thirteen cannon windows on each layer of the city wall, but the cannon holes on the city wall that have been blasted out by the Shiqi fleet are not irregular, and there are only a few places where they can climb with their strength, and the gun windows are not the garrison passages on the city wall that Shao Tingda imagined, but small rooms that are divided.

The rooms are not connected, and the doors open to a spiral staircase in the middle.

Each room is equipped with a cannon and a gun window, and up to ten soldiers can use it to guard against hundreds of enemies who want to attack outside.

Even if any room is lost, if you want to attack it, you have to face defenders with different heights up and down the stairs, and you will also fight more and less.

It's a pity that what they encountered was the Nanyang Army, Chen Mu's Nanyang Army.

Inside and outside the city, there was fighting everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the flag army entered through the cannon window, and there were grenades everywhere, and some flag soldiers stood on the cannon window after capturing the room and shouted to the city, so that the robes outside the city would attack the fortress from here, but then the Burmese gunners who were drilled out of the cannon window next door were killed nearby, and fell down the city with a miserable scream.

The Burmese gunners who released the guns were also not good, and the city was full of Nanyang army bird guns, and before he had time to hide his body back, he was also killed by the birds.

The three rooms were cleared by the Ming army first with grenades and then with knives and axes, and the ropes were lowered from the cannon windows to bring in more banner troops waiting for battle under the city, followed by a loud bang on the east side of the fortress, which even made the floor tiles under Shao Tingda's feet shake.

He knew that the three-ship flag army on the right flank had finally burst a gap in the city wall with gunpowder, and he waved his hand to the subordinates in the house: "More people have come in, they are downstairs!" ”

In fact, just as Shao Tingda thought, the flag army of the three ships on the left flank converged on his side after docking, while the flag army that landed first on the right flank formed a formation on the spot, their lucky ships were not fired, and many gunpowder weapons were not left behind, and they continued to bombard and blast with gunpowder cartridges and tiger squatting cannons, and finally blasted a gap outside the wall several times, poured into the fortress, and fought with the enemy on the first floor.

The attack on that side was much easier than Shao Tingda's, and the first floor of the fortress was the enemy's residence barracks, which was supposed to be a weak place in the garrison, but the continuous explosions reminded the enemy troops to garrison on that side, and gathered many enemy troops.

But in close combat, no one can get the advantage.

The formation of the Nanyang flag army bird guns into the gap, several people in a row of volleys out, reciprocating three rows of bird guns out first, followed by the fish into the knife and axe hands, each nearby hand guns to put a hit, followed by the sword and axe, the Burmese army that attaches importance to the long soldiers was broken up by the guns, and then the opponent they could only resist for a moment before being repulsed.

Then more banner troops poured into the fortress from the gap, squeezing the enemy army to the north, and in the blink of an eye, the morale was shattered.

At the same time, the banner army led by Shao Tingda also launched an attack from the two-story turret, seized the stairs, and killed directly upwards, relying on strong armor to defeat the Chinese and Burmese troops in the fortress until they reached the city tower, and forced the hundreds of Burmese troops who were holding the fortress to the side of the city wall.

The strongest fortresses were often breached from within, and in the second year of Wanli, the strong fortresses were also breached by gunpowder.
